Drunk Derrick Van Orden (aka Jussie Smolett) shows how Republicans will Weaponize the Department of Justice

 Yep. Drunk Van Orden is vile lying sack of shit and complete discredit to the United States Naval Service as he continues to violate his Oaths of Office.  During the Wisconsin RNC Drunk Van Orden ran into a Codepink protestor and then demanded she be arrested for "assaulting him".  The woman Nour Jaghama was arrested and held for 15 hours.  What a fucking liar.  Van Orden's a big man and a Navy SEAL.  How small is this CodePink woman?

Of course, it is no surprise he made this claim against a tiny minority woman, affiliated with far Leftist organization, like CodePink.  He viewed her as someone he can bully and hurt.  Immediately, Drunk Van Orden took to his social media to decry the "political violence" he, Donald Trump, and other Republicans are facing.  It's been a long standing Republican policy to gin up a false charge so they can deflect from their own actions and cry Victim!  We've already seen Pro-Palestinian Genocide rightwingers pull this stunt several times during counter-protests, as when rightwing liar Sahar Tartak claimed to have been stabbed in the eye during a Yale protest and was invited to speak on numerous Faux News segments.

Drunk Van Orden gave a preview of how Republicans will utilize state-sanctioned violence against anyone who opposes the Racist Rapist Rightwing Agenda.  Republicans claims about the "Weaponized Department of Justice" were a fucking admission of how they are going to round-up and eliminate people who resist or protest their fascist agenda.

Remember it's not that Drunk Van Orden believes he was attacked it's what pretending to believe he was attacked gives him license to do.

But, it also demonstrates while there are good Officers who will not Just Follow Orders, there is a huge segment of the LEO community who yearn to be unleashed to "bash hippies"like their grandaddies did.  And even though, Nour Jaghama was released without charges 

The anti-war protester accused by Wisconsin Rep. Derrick Van Orden of assault this week at the Republican National Convention will not face charges after prosecutors said they found "insufficient" evidence to back up the accusations.

Kent Lovern, the chief deputy district attorney for Milwaukee County, told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that the evidence in the case, including police body camera footage, "is insufficient to support a criminal charge" against the Code Pink activist Nour Jaghama.

I guarantee you any Police Officer aware of this arrest aren't mad at Drunk Van Orden for lying and filing false charges.  No, they are bitching about how this Woke DEI liberal DA won't charge criminals and are pinning for Trump to get into Office so they can go put some Law&Order back into America.  These same Officers will still reference "Juicy Smo-lay" as the example of how some people should never be believed and all of those people file false reports.  

We saw the type of Law&Order Police Officers (and college campus Administrators) want to impose on the Nation during the despicable response to Anti-Genocide protests at college campuses.  Where the immediate reaction to any protest which had a whiff of leftist agitation was met with overwhelming and immediate violence.  And understand the Republicans want there to be large protests during Trump's Administration.  They will use the protests presence to unleash their brutal death squads.  Faux News and other rightwing propagandists will obfuscate, sow confusion about the issues and use the protests as a pretext to call for crackdowns.  And Republicans want to unleash more than just arrests, Tom Cotton and others want to murder protesters outright and have been providing vocal support to extrajudicial killings, not only by Police Officers but, by rightwing paramilitary criminals as well. 

And the Corporate Media will simply ignore the Protestors as they did in 2003 during the Iraq War and the regurgitate Republican lies and Police department propaganda like they did circa 2014-2020, during BLM protests. 

Things look bleak, and Fascists already have too much power, but everything not lost.  Right now you have a chance to convince people to vote against Republican tyrants and traitors.  Vote like your life depends on it because other people do and Republicans are never satisfied. 

ETA:

As for conservatives, they don't believe in limited government, and all their calls about not trusting government or politicians (like Drunk Van Orden) are sheer hypocrisy because what conservatives want is to use the Awesome Power of Government to round-up and liquidate large segments of the Nation.

This is what conservatives did in response to Drunk Van Orden false police report; 

Two hours after his post on X, we received a death threat, saying: "The next Palestinian protest in the street. I'm going to get my semi truck and run over you fucking faggots and make road pancake out of you you fucking cunt. I hope you all die bitch/"

CODEPINK has reported the death threat to the FBI. We have also demanded that the police release the body cam footage of the incident. And we have filed a complaint against the congressman with the Congressional Ethic Committee.

The Revenge of the Thin Blue Line 30: Are you bailing on me???

All persons shall be bailable by sufficient sureties and No person shall be imprisoned for debt... Section 9 and Section 14 of  Illinois State Constitution

As Election Day is long past at least I don't have to see the political ads featuring Joe Rogan's fat fascist head talking about   OMG!No Bail in Illinois anymore!

The SAFE-T Act was an excellent step in Illinois not only to address Police abuses but, the well-known inequities in the application of criminal procedure, especially in the which defendants are allowed to bail themselves out awaiting trial.  You see rich people can always get themselves out of detention while awaiting their trial but, poor people are often kept in custody for long periods of time.

In response, white rightwingers in Illinois lost their minds and engaged in a bigoted fear campaign of unprecedented fury.  Powerful racist white bureaucrats took to the papers with false scenarios and filed a various lawsuits across the State.  Eventually a "class action lawsuit" by the Illinois States Attorney's from 57 Illinois Counties were consolidated into a hearing in Kankakee County on December 9th.  On December 28th, Judge Thomas Cunnington ruled the "No Cash Bail" provision to be unconstitutional.  Setting up an eventual Illinois Supreme Court ruling on the provision.  Which I guarantee is going to overturn Judge Cunnington's ruling because tying a defendant's ability to bail themselves out specifically to money is a clear-cut violation of the Illinois Constitution. 

The Public Defenders Office of Cook County released a statement as the Illinois Supreme Court issued a last minute stay just prior to the implementation of the Pre-Trial Fairness section of the SAFE-T Act,

Money bond is a deplorable practice, and it is high time that Illinois abolish a system that punishes people – most of them Black and Brown – for being poor. We decry the frivolous lawsuit that was brought against the Pretrial Fairness Act almost two years after it was signed into law. We continue to look forward to a day in the near future when Illinois will move forward as a beacon for our nation, reforming our inequitable pretrial legal system.

Remember it's important to always note that when rightwingers wail about CRIME! CRIME! CRIME! they mean BLACK! BLACK! BLACK!  "Crime" and "Chicago" is code for black people.  Conservatives believe black people are predisposed to be criminals.  So when they have a freak out about OMG! No Cash Bail! it's because conservatives believe all black people are a priori criminals and thus the SAFE-T Act lets hardened criminals out of jail.

Additionally in this fear mongering is the subtle or unsubtle claim by State's Attorney's and Police Chiefs that everyone arrested, regardless of race, is ipso facto guilty.  And this gets to the syllogistic conclusion, which the opponents of cash-less bail are actually proposing; i.e. that once someone is arrested they can never be released.  Ever.  And no this is not hyperbole.  Anyone arrested has ostensibly committed a crime once and therefore could commit some crime in the future, so based on this possibility shouldn't every person arrested be kept in custody until such time as their trial occurs?
